Degeneration X

A depressive 40-year-old European man, a representative of Generation X, a lost generation from his point of view, tries to break with his past. He is determined to end his ever more frequent, longer and deeper periods of depression in one way or another: either by finding happiness or by committing suicide. He wakes up one day and leaves his wife behind, to start this search. His quest is guided by Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” and by the songs of American musicians of his generation (mainly Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell, both of them having committed suicide). Their lyrics give voice to the same issues that torment him on the other side of the Atlantic.
